Delish Summer Drink to get ur liquids in



Recommended Posts

Hey all just wanted to share what me and my bff made the other night together that was sooo yummy!! We took a whole cantelope and blended it down in the nutribullet and added about 3x the amount of Water and artificial sweetner to it for a REAL fresh drink option during the liquid stage because plain water can sometimes get a little boring and I was also missing my soda, especially now that its summer time and so warm! This fresh juice drink killed my craving and was super yummy!! Best part u can make it as sweet or not as you want! I def got all my liquids in that day and even had my fruit but lowwww sugar content! This can be done with any of your fave fruits like pinapple, strawberries etc. Love LOVE these simple juice ideas because most things out there for diet drinks arent very tasty. :-)

Not sure how far along you are but pineapple and strawberries would not be allowed for awhile; pineapple is very fibrous and strawberries have seeds. Melons are also very high in carbs(sugar). Not something that I would suggest indulging in every day.

A whole large cantelope has about 200 calories on average and yes it contains natural sugars however, this one cantelope makes about a gallon of juice.... doubt you could even drink half that in a day so im not too worried about the calorie content at this point as in the liquid stage we can hardly eat about 400-600 calories per day so im pretty sure its alright. Plus a whole cantelope also has 4grms of protien. Maybe one could add protien powder to this as well for an extra shot of protien to make it even more beneficial.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
